Nurses difficulty

I know this is so random but why not change Nurses difficulty to say “Very Hard.” It would be cool and unique for her to have this difficulty as to make new players think twice about trying to use her as they will know that she is not easy to learn. I mean she is the hardest killer to learn and can be rewarding if you put the effort to learn her, she is even harder than before, so why not make this tiny change :). What do you guys think?

    I like this idea! It would definitely let people know what to expect when they first get into playing her, especially since she takes great patience and skill to play effectively. Then, Oni would definitely be more appropriate in the "Hard" category, since he is hard to learn to play effectively but not as hard to learn as Nurse.

    I feel like it's not worth it to learn or play her anymore. Since the game is becoming more and more balanced, you can surely win with almost any Killer consistently.

    She is very hard to learn and very hard to play. You need to make only a few mistakes and you'll stress out your butt in order to win with her, while with other Killers you can manage mistakes better.

    Let's say Spirit for example, she is just a little bit weaker than Nurse but a ton times easier to play. And since she is easier to play you will probably win with her more often which makes her the best Killer in some point of view. In theory, the Nurse is still the best Killer, but there is no reason to play her. Her cooldown is just frustrating and stressful combined with the many bugs she has. I used to love playing her because she was rewarding, now you get either punished or get little to no reward.

    Freddy is another example, he is almost brain dead, can be played without Add-Ons just like Spirit and still win easily, while Nurse needs Blink recharge Add-Ons, otherwise you will have to play out of your mind and abilities in order to do well with her.

    The fact that people still complain about how frustrating Nurse is should set the Devs an alarm that they need to do something. Usually people are overreacting at first and after some time they get used to things that change, which isn't the case for the Nurse. Her rework took place almost or even half a year ago and nobody can't deny that the rework was rushed and badly made.

    They could also fix her various bugs to make her rewarding again.

    I mean, I guess? She's not as difficult to play as people make her out to be but in the context of this game she's the hardest. The difficulty ratings should be changed anyway. For example I would put Billy in the medium/hard difficulty, Wraith as easy, Trapper as Medium, Freddy as easy, Michael medium...etc

    Take away her bugs, her glitches, and you'll have a B Class Killer at best.

    Dunno what you mean by that. If you mean in terms of difficulty? Sure once you learn blink distances and you're not getting ######### over by the game there's not much to her after that except knowing survivor pathing and having good reaction times. But in terms of effectiveness? She's still by far the best killer, fixing all of her bugs will just exaggerate that even more.

    She's not the best killer, please stop spreading that lie when Freddy can get easy 4's along with Doctor who every time he loses a survivor he can find 3 more by the push of a button.

    These servers really dropped her down in Tiers, she was a great killer when it was the killer's connection but now becaus

    I blink in place sometimes WITH Range addons because the servers don't recognize the blink.

    And on top of that "MISSING" a grab already screws your momentum and it builds you up for failure.

    I have 2 Nurse clips where my grab was stolen from me because of these servers.

    I think we should only put like, S, A, B, C, D..., Z(Z is where you find clown) to say the average power of the killer. Like, nurse is a powerful killer but her skill cap is even higher, so A category. Killers that are easy to learn and also good go to higher tiers.

    Difficulty of gameplay is subjective to everyone, some people might find Nurse easier than other, but on average shes Hard. Giving her a special rating just because you cant play her effectively makes no sense when other people can pick her up easier. Weird request.
